To all 'whom may concern:

.ile it known that I, ALFRED BENBOW Wnsrnnn, a citizenof the United States, .re-

L siding at Habana, in the Province of Habana andin the Island of Cuba, have invented new and useful vimprovements in Kitchen Utensils, of which the following isa specification. i

This invention andthe object g .of pots, lieti-les, pans, and the like; the device being constructed of rubber or other suitable resilicntmaterial whereby all crev loes of the pots or pans may `be reached and easily scraped and cleaned. y' To these ends.the-,inventionresides in the novel construction of kitchen utensils herein- L after fully described and claimed.

ln the drawings, Figurel is a side eleva; tion of the device constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig-.f2 is a central 1ong'itudinal. section 'of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section upon `the line 3-3 of '.Fig. V1.

in the ldrawings' the numeral 1 designates l the bo'dy of my improved utensil. The body' of my-device is preferably constructed of rnbbenof a suitable toughness `to retain its body 1, thus forming s aces between the sides of the Walls and t e yinner face of the relates to kitchen utensils, v of the Invention is to l rovide a device adapted for the scraplng an, clean bed to allow' the' weer accumulated within the ody, when the device is manipulated, to

.be readily drawn therefrom. The body 1 is .preferably frustoconie'al in formation 'and its perimeter is providedwith a series of radiating lribs or corrugations 5'. With a kitchen utensil of this character it will be readily -seenthat the-'device'will adapt itself to the various 'creases and crevices of a pot or pan,- and y,that the reinforcements provided by the handle and the elements 2,' the device is normally retained in an upright position and prevented from creasing or depression.

Havingy thus fully described the invention.'

lwhat is' claimed as new is:

perimeter of the body, .a hand e upon the upper portion of the body, and a reinforcement'v upon the lower-portion of the body, said re- "inforcement comprising a pair of 'arms lor Walls connected `at their center and extending at right angles toward the innerifaceof the body..

2.v A pot cleaner comprising a hollow resilient body portion, radiating ribs upon the perimeter of the body, a handle upon the upper portion of theV body and a reinforcement upon the lower portion of the body.

3. A pot cleaner com risinga body of re silient material, -being' ollow in. formation and having ribs upon its perimeter, a handle having an extension engaging the :inner periphery of the' hollow'body, and a reinforcev ment engagingfthe`-inner periphery of the lower portion of the body. I

In testimony whereof l affix my signaturey in presence of two Witnesses.
